One of the largest breedare of Angus
eattis in America is Nelson Morris of
Chicago, whom famous C ranch on tha
staked plains is thirty-two miles long
and h~ an area of 444 ~luare miles. Its
280,000 acres and fifty wind mills now
provide grm mad watar for nearly 15,000

While high prices for females in all
tluD improved breeds of cattle have boon
maintained throughout the year, thare
is a manifest lagging in the bull market.
The very best bulls sell for very high
pric~ whila the inferior ones often sell
~vary low. It is becau~ the stockman
do not need them~ They never n~ded
good bulls more than they do now and
they will require them worse in years to
come than in years past.--Field and

Charles Goodnight, formerly of (3sic-
redo but now of the Texas panhudlo, is
working with a view to evolving a new
breed of cattle that will be proof against
blackleg and splenic fever. To this end
ha has produced a mixture of buffalo
and cattle that will reproduce itself. Mr.
Goodnight says: "Besides their great
weight and the extra quality of meat
they are most probably immune from
blackleg; they never eat lees; they nev-
er lie with their backs down-hill, which
oau~ much loss in weak cattle; they do
not go into bog holes; they have the
greater lungs of any animal on earth and
they put on more flesh for what they eat
than any other animals.--Field and Farm.

The Rswley Mining company hem a
greatly ineresmd force at work in their
m/he at Bonanza and the scone about
the "Rawlsy" mine is a deeldedly busy
one. The force now numbers fifty men,
and with an equipment for taking out
ore as good se can be had the product
of this excellent mine will be placed in
the market with but little difficulty.
The company has ordered a concentrat-
ing mill of 100-ton eapamty which is ca-
route, and will be put up near the mine
upon arrival.
The Eagla mine is producing some
excellent ore and its owners are stimu-
httad to even greater activity in devel-
opment work. A force of eight men are
at work in the Hortenee and good ore
is being taken from this property.
Fully 100 men are now employed in
the camp, at good wages, and every resi-
dent fools highly gratified with rmulta
being attained.--Salida Mail.
Among the grease that have received
meet attention the past year bromsgrsm
undoubtedly ranks first. More of it h~
b~n sown in this western country than
of others and rmulte have been satis-
factory. Many farmers have made more
than the price of the land from s single
crop of seed of brome. A good many,
however, have made the mmtako of cut-
ting the seed crop too early and a great
deal of poor, chaffy seed has been the re-
sult. When havested for seed, bromo
grass should not be cut till dead ripe.
The seed will then be plump and heavy
and easy to separate from the chaff. It
can be threshed on an ordinary threshing
machine with all the wind cut off. The
seed may then be recleaned on afanniug
mill. The straw of a seed crop is readily
eaten by all kinds of stock. This grass
should be sown in early spring on land
that has been plowed fairly deep and
harrowed into good tilth. About twenty
pounds of good, clean seed m sown to an
sore. Like all the perennial greases, it
sends up only a few seed heads the first
mason. The second season it is at its
b~t, yielding a large crop of either hay
or sad. After that it becomes so thick
and md bound that it does not throw up
so many seed stalks, but make a dense
growth near the ground' which makes
the Inmture. It remains in this condi-
tion indefinitely, unless plowed up or
thoroughly diseed. After four or five
y~trs it may be plowed up and sown to
wheat and will then come up and make
another finn crop of hay the year after
the wheat ie harvested. To get rid of it
plow shallow in the fall and deep again
next spring. Then grow a cultivated
crop, such as corn, potatoes or sugar

THIC HOME GOLD CURE.
An Ingenious Treatment by which Drunk

Spite of Themselves.
It is now generally known and under-
stood that drunkenness is a disease and
not weakness. A body filled with poison,
and nerves completely shattered by per-
iodical or Constant use of intoxicating
Liquors requires an antidote capable of
neutralizing and eradicating this poison
and destroying the craving for intoxi-
cants. Sufferers may now cure themsel-
ves at home without publicity or loss of
time from business by (hi~ wonderful
Home Gold Cure which has been per-
fatted after many years of close study
and treatment of inebriates. The fmthful
use according to d~reotions of this won-
derful discovery is positively guaranteed

dustrious and upright men.
Wives cure your husbands[ Children

SNUG MANNER IN WHICH EATABLES
ARE STOWED AWAY•
Methods by Which Stores Are Be-
plcniahed Which Give Out l~n
Route--The Boom For the Waiters.
The Cooks and Their Work.
The actual standing room in the car
kitchen consists of an aisle only wide
enough for two men to pass each other
and about fifteen feet long. On one
side Is an unbroken row of ranges, the
very best sort invented, for when men
do women's work they are not content
with makeshift tools. On the other
side is a steam table for keeping things
hot, other tables and some of the re.
frlgerators, for there are many. Hot
water and cold Is held in cylinders
which lie along the ceiling and look
like the projectiles used on torpedo
boats.
One refrigerator is devoted exclusive-
ly to fish, which lie shining el Mocks
of clear ice as tempting as in any fish
market. Until I had actually seen this
refrigerator it had b~en my practice to
refuse fish in traveling, feeling there
was some mystery about its preserva-
tion, but now--indeed, no such thing. I
had fancied the whole menu cooked at
once in enormous quantities, llke a sol-
diers' mess at camp, and my fastidious
car appetite had revolted and faded
away during the first course, but now
I eat with relish, knowing the condi-
tion of the source of supply.
Another refrigerator is entirely for
meats and game, another for fruit, and
even bread and cake are kept in a re-
frigerator that they retain their mois-
ture. Outside the kitchen there is a
sacred icebox under lock and key, and
no man tony put his hand therein ex-
cept the steward or housekeeper of the
dining car. There twenty-five kinds of
wine are kept, and there will be shown
to you, with a manner awed but proud,
the royal family of champagne with
cool, gold crowned heads sitting on an
Icy throne.
But, to go back to the kitchen, that
apartment is occupied by three men
all in white, with perhaps a blue cor-
don for tradition's sake, who serve
deftly and capably the hlveful of wait-
ere that swarm at the open square at
the inner end of the room. It Is a
wise provision that prevents close con-
tacts, for cooks are apt to be "redhot"
at the crucial hour of dinner serving,
and, besides, the car kitchen can con-
taln no more men than the three cooks,
who broll, roast, stew and fry the
numberless faneles of the patrons' pal;
ates. These men work hard. The
head cook, whose salary is about $70
per month, stands farthest from the
window where the waiters clamor and
is a bit more serious. The middle
cook, on $45 salary, is lively or sub-
missive according to the man he ad-
dresses, and the end cook finds time
to chaff the owners of the dark faces
who call orders, and sometimes he
sings as happily as a conceited boy
who fancies his future on the operatic
stage.
These three men make up the white
capped trio we see peering out of the
windows of the dining car as it slips
into the station. All the other em-
ployees of the train come into contact
with passengers and have interesting
experiences, but these are confined in
the galley and are eager for scant
glimpses at the station. Sometimes
the car has a little balcony at the eud,
where they can escape the heat of
their quarters, a needed relief in sum-
mer time.
The waiters have a pantry adjoining
the kitchen and opeutng into it o~y
by the little square window with at
counter on either side. When your or-
der is given aud the walter disappears,
this is where he has gone. Here are
kept supplies of dishes and silver, and
here It is the waiter makes up the
dlshes of cakes, fruit and eheese you
call for with which to tie up the ends
of your appetite.
Before the d:nlng car is drawn away
from the caryards the special house-
keeper who has it in charge must see
that every sort of supply is on hand
and in sufficient, but not too lavish,
quantity. Sometimes there are ninety
persons to feed. sometimes one-third
that number, but the probable number
on the various runs is known. In long
Journeys there are commissary sta-
tions along the way where the car may
be restocked, but this is seldom neces-
sary except with such perishables as
cream and milk. Have you ever heard
a porter agitating that subject with
statlon employees at Buffalo or else-
where? That means the emergency
has arlsen In the dining ear. Such
thlngs mlght easily happen tn a larder
where demands are Irregular and mar-
kets scores of miles away. It is a won.
der they do not happen oftener when
we reflect that economy In perlshnble
things Is exacted from the steward
housekeeper.
Just before he sends his black com.
mlssary to announce dinner to the hun-
gering pasengers every man slips on
Jacket and apron of whitest linen and
by this little act of costuming is con.
carted at once from the nondescript
man of the streets Into the most spruce
of servitors. Then, with everything
ready in the Mtchen and wlth his flock
of asslstants about him, the house-
keeper of the dining car awaits the
coming of hls guests. And In they
come, thoughtless blessing takers, with
never a reflection on the hours of prep-
aratlon by the army of men that It
has taken to give them the degree of
comfort which is purchasable for a
dollar blll.--AInslee's blagazlne.
